macrame, batik and craft exchange

Here is what I wore to the James Taylor/Carol King concert at the Hollywood Bowl. They both sounded so amazing and much fun was had by all. The Hollywood Bowl is my favorite venue for concerts. Your outside under the stars, the sound is great and you can picnic beforehand and usually bring in your own alcohol. Sounds pretty good, huh? Nicky posted more fun photos over at The Stitchy Life, so feel free to go check 'em on out!

When Little Monarch invited me to join the International Craft Exchange, I was so excited! All you have to do is send one person 1 craft of any kind and you get 6 in return! Well, I still need 4 crafty folks to sign on. You interested? Leave me a comment in this post and I'll contact you with the necessary information :D

Here is what I received the other day from the oh so lovely Twila, of Twila's Vintage!

Aren't all those hair goodies just too cute?! I can't wait to wear them! Much thanks Twila!

Here is what I sent off for the exchange, a little "Lost Lovely". Her name is Carrie Ann and hope her new owner adores her.

When I received Twila's package, it was made out of an Anthropologie catalog. Two pages were sewn together and used as the envelope... super duper cool!!! I had to try it out. I used a grocery bag instead, what a creative way to reuse paper bags and catalogs! Give it a try, it looks so unique and crafty, you'll love it! :D

Remember to leave me a comment if you want to join in on the craft exchange fun!
